Port Lincoln and Coffin Bay


Port Lincoln is "Australia's Seafood Capital" and it's known for its tuna fishing industry.  It's a very picturesque town with plenty of activities from quiet beach walks to adrenalin rushing cage swims with sharks and tuna.  You could say there's something for everyone.  We're booked in here for a week so we have time to explore the countryside.  The town is a busy fishing town with a huge grain terminal dominating the landscape.






About 40km west is the Coffin Bay National Park.  Coffin Bay is famous for it's oysters.  

We spent the afternoon driving around the National Park taking photos of the stunning coastal scenery.  We also checked out the campsite which we hope to come back to in future.



It was "dad's day out" with the emu chicks - they didn't have any road sense so we had to keep our eyes open for them.  The mum's parental responsibilities end when she lays the eggs.  Eggs are incubated and chicks are raised by their dad.
